Summary<br />

application <strong>of</strong> VIGS in assessing genetic function <strong>of</strong> floral transcription factors from<br />

monocots.<br />

Analyses <strong>of</strong> gene functions involved in lily flower <strong>development</strong> and generation<br />

<strong>of</strong> useful <strong>information</strong> on the molecular breeding potential <strong>of</strong> this species were the main<br />

objectives <strong>of</strong> the work described in this thesis.<br />

<strong>The</strong> field for studying the molecular aspects <strong>of</strong> lily flower <strong>development</strong> is now<br />

wide open and the future may uncover very interesting aspects that will produce new<br />

tools for ornamental breeders as well as reveal particular features <strong>of</strong> monocots and the<br />

Liliaceae plant family.<br />
